Jezebel reached out to Greene to ask if that $100K came out of her personal banking account, and she hasn’t responded. But she can certainly afford it, as she is reportedly worth about $11 million since inheriting a successful construction company from her parents.

Now, why would Greene spend that much money on used chapstick?
